We had a barn swallow build a nest right above our ice cream window at the marina this summer. It was giving all of the customers "free toppings" ! We didn't want to disturb the nest so it became an ongoing joke. They are very crafty birds and they built the nest in a very safe spot from wind and predators. I watch the mother build the nest tirelessly for over a week. She started it by pressing some seaweed into a crack in the wall and slowly built it up over time. Great shots ! I'll have to see if I can find the ones I took.
